Summary:The dynamic time-history response analysis method was employed to analyze the dynamic response of soft ground replacement with sand-gravel cushion. The deformation distribution of soft ground replacement with different thickness sand-gravel cushion was investigated under seismic wave. The results reveal that the bearing and asti-deformation capacity can be improved effectively for replacement sand-gravel cushion under earthquake loads by increasing the thick of cushion. The vertical displacement of foundation soil decreases gradually with the increase of the thick of cushion. The practice shows that replacement sand-gravel cushion provides a positive contribution to the aseismic effect of foundation soils mass. The present research can provide some references to similar projects.
